Hi Andreas,
The ia64 assembler is choking on `.file ""' with the error message "Zero-length symbol is illegal". According to the GAS manual this should be allowed. The problem is that gcc 3.4 and later now uses `.file ""' instead of `.file "<stdin>"' when input comes from stdin.
Hmm, well the documentation does also say that the feature is only supported for backwards compatibility and may go away in the future.
Still a patch for this problem seems fairly straight forward.
Jan, Ian - what do you think of this ?
Cheers Nick
